Yearbook printing technology is not only reducing turnaround times and creating more visually appealing products, but many yearbook publishing companies can use new technologies to save on costs for both the company and the client.

According to the production manager at Entourage Yearbooks, Edward Jo, “A door to door yearbook salesman model is inefficient. Internet online conferencing and remote desktop makes this position unnecessary. With a traveling yearbook rep, the school would have to call or email them for help, and then wait for them to drive out to the school. With the Entourage method, no matter where you are located, we can begin tech support help instantly as long as you have an internet connection.”

The Entourage Yearbooks business model is the preferred model since an estimated 20-30% of costs will be allocated to pay for the door to door sales rep. The Entourage model reduces costs with virtual technologies that allow for instant access within minutes. These savings are then passed down to the customer, making for more competitive pricing.

Entourage Yearbooks is doing what many businesses in America are doing today, using the Internet to streamline systems to be more productive. Jo added, “A yearbook sales rep who has a large territory may take several days before he or she can make a trip to a school that is requesting help. Time and money is wasted in these few days. We can help within minutes and keep production rolling for the fastest turnaround times in the industry.”

Entourage Yearbooks has also recently announced that they have made the leap to an entirely digital printing format. Digital print technology offers some of the highest quality imagery and resolution available in the industry today and the fastest turnaround times. With digital printing, customers can expect turnaround times to be as short as 2-3 weeks. Digital printing is also perfect for short runs, so schools aren’t forced to order additional books just to get a more competitive price.

Entourage Yearbooks announces that they have transitioned to a 100% digital printing format. Digital print technology offers some of the highest quality imagery and resolution available in the industry today. The same technology is used by major publishers like National Geographic and presents readers with true to life images, color and clarity.

Printing Yearbooks in digital print will have many benefits to the customer. With digital printing, schools can change the number of books they need ordered right until the time that they give the final approval for the books to go to press. Turnaround time is also much shorter with digital printing. Traditional yearbook printing times were typically in the 4-12 week range. With digital printing, customers can expect turnaround times to be as short as 2-3 weeks. Digital printing is perfect for short runs, so schools aren’t forced to order additional books just to get a more competitive price.

According to Kelly Dunford, Internet Sales Manager at Entourage Yearbooks, “The man power necessary to run a digital press is much lower than that required by an off-set press. This saves on production costs, which are savings that we can pass on to the customers.”

Entourage Yearbooks is pleased to advance to a digital format. It’s the way all print media and graphic design will be done in the future. It also gives educators a chance to teach design and publishing the same way students will encounter it in the real world.

“We really do offer a lot of services and products and prices that are better than the other yearbook companies out there. I think we are really coming into our own in this industry and we are gaining momentum. It is an exciting place to be, in the right place, at the right time, possessing the tools necessary to take full advantage of the great position we have placed ourselves,” added Larry Johnson, account manager at Entourage.
